Tuna with a Devilish Twist

Posted Mon, 10/10/05

 

The following recipe comes from Loretta Lynn's You're Cookin' It Country, but I made a few revisions:

 

Deviled Ham & Tuna Sandwiches

1 (6-1/2-oz.) can of tuna, drained & flaked

1 (4-1/2-oz.) can of deviled ham

3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped*

1/4 C celery, finely chopped*

2 TBS dill pickle, chopped*

1/2 tsp. onion, grated*

1/3 C Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise

Bread, butter & lettuce leaves

 

In a bowl, combine the tuna, deviled ham, eggs, celery, pickle and onion. Stir in the Miracle Whip or the Mayonnaise; chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. When ready to serve, butter bread and assemble mixture on the bread, adding lettuce leaves.

*I used two hard-boiled eggs rather than three. I was out of dill pickles, so I added a few squirts of the Relish Sandwich Spread from Best Foods instead. I chopped the onion rather than grating it, and thin-sliced the celery instead of chopping it. I also added a handful of sliced green olives with pimento and seasoned the mixture with salt and black pepper.

 

We ate the sandwiches on wheat toast with a side of potato chips. The combination of tuna and deviled ham may sound strange, but it works and is actually quite delicious.

 

Loretta Lynn's You're Cookin' It Country is a wonderful collection of homespun recipes. The book also includes photos and several charming anecdotes written by Loretta herself.
